Question

Verizon chargers $0.50 per minute for a cell phone plan. T mobile charges a flat fee of $20 and $0.10 per minute for a cell phone plan. For how many minutes will Verizon's monthly plan be less expensive then t mobiles

Answer 1

Answer:

For minutes less than 50, Verizon's monthly plan will be less expensive then T mobiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the minutes used be $x$.

Given:

Cost per minute by Verizon = $ 0.50

∴ Total cost for $x$ minutes by Verizon = $0.5x$

Cost per minute by T mobile = $ 0.10

∴ Cost for $x$ minutes by T mobile = $0.1x$

Fixed cost charged by T mobile = $ 20

Therefore, the total cost charged by T mobile = $0.1x+20$

Now, for Verizon cost to be less than T mobile's cost,

$0.5x$

Therefore, for $x$, Verizon's monthly plan will be less than that of T mobile's plan.

So, for up to 50 minutes, Verizon's plan is cheaper than T mobile's plan.
